During the war, the civilian lifestyle was much different than before the war. Before the war the United States was in the middle of an economic depression where people struggled to find work, money, and food. The overall picture of the nation was a bleak one. Joining the war changed life for many, as many were being put to work, and many were joining the military. Propaganda and media played a huge role during this time period and led to many of the technological advances that we enjoy today. On this page, we are going to explore how life was before the war, how much life changed during the war, and a little bit on the home front after the war.
